Katrina people

I am really, honestly taken back by all the pictures of the people's worlds that ended as Katrina moved through. People's worlds utterly shaken. I have actually been on that path, just not in that way. Words only approximate the decimation felt. Nights are blacker. Days have little purpose other than to make it through with the hopeful trust that at some point life will not betray you again in such a devastating way. The trust in the one who made storm systems is reduced to a single question. I do hope that the Katrina people will allow time to pass before acting rashly or dumping their faith. The one who made the storm still looks on them with compassion and their faith will blossom yet again. May the Maker of storm systems come and comfort every one of the Katrina people whose world has been utterly shaken.
